The MP who raised concerns over the behaviour of Nigel Evans has warned that
political parties and parliament have “turned a blind eye” to cases of
sexual harassment.

Sarah Wollaston, the Tory MP for Totnes, said that she had faced “rank
hostility” from fellow Conservatives for flagging up the allegations against
the former deputy Speaker after they were brought to her attention by two
men.

Mr Evans, who was cleared of all nine charges against him last week, has
claimed that Dr Wollaston “decided to have it in” for him.
